US sprinter Justin Gatlin beat six-time Olympic
champion Usain Bolt in the men’s 100 metres
race at the Rome Golden Gala, Diamond League,
which took place today. Justin beat Usain by one-
hundredth of a second, that’s like 1% of a
second. Justin actually had to dip his head over
the line to win in 9.94 seconds. Usain came in
9.95.
Usain was making his first appearance in the
Diamond League this season since his recent
recovery from a hamstring injury. Usain
explained what happened to him:
“I got the perfect start that I wanted, then about
five steps in I stumbled a bit and that kind of
threw my game off. My legs didn’t feel like my
legs coming into the straight. I guess I need to do
more strength work. I think I just need time to
get it back together but the fact I got a good start
threw me off. At least I got under 10 seconds.
“It is always a good thing to lose. You can figure
how to step it up. I knew I wasn’t in great shape
but I’m not worried. It takes time to get back into
shape and I didn’t expect much from this race.”
Usain’s next race will be in the men’s 200m in
next Thursday’s Diamond League meeting in
Oslo.
